The Programmer's Curse

When learning a new language, unless your first working sample is "Hello World" you will be cursed and will struggle to use that language for anything useful.
I was learning Ruby on Rails but because I didn't start with a "Hello World" example, I've been struggling with it from Day One.

Bob: "Hey, Jim. I can't seem to understand why my Ruby on Rails project just won't work."
Jim: "Did you start with a basic "Hello World" example to show you understand the basics?"
Bob: "Heck no! Why would I waste my time."
Jim: <smh> "Well, good luck, Jim. You've cursed yourself with The Programmer's Curse.

Renneke Curse

A curse originally started by Austin Renneke in which a player or team continuously succeeds in the regular season or playoffs but ultimately fails in the championship game. The curse came to be after Austin Renneke proceeded to have a 2-7 record in the finals despite success in all games prior, with many other situations being the same such as an undefeated season where he'd lose the Super Bowl and many more.
Person 1: Bruhhh we really just lost in championship after being undefeated
Person 2: Ahhhh you got that Renneke Curse

Person 1: WE'RE CHAMPIONS

Person 2: Yeah we aint on that Renneke type beat
